Akira 4.5/5 - Got to see the IMAX restoration of this. It rocked
Fight Club 5/5 - Saw this at a local independent cinema while getting drunk. It’s still pretty great and relevant
Tony 3/5 - I don’t really have any exposure to Anthony Bourdain and I find it a little implausible that all of this happened over the time frame that the movie suggests. Still, he was a compelling character and I particularly like the wordless conversation that happens towards the end of the clam bake
Over Your Dead Body 3.5/5 - Missed this in theaters but saw it streaming at home. It’s funny, but gets a little over gorey towards the end of the movie. I’m growing a little tired of “breaking a knee the wrong way” as a comedic device. I’ve seen at least 3 new releases this year that use it
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 5/5 - I had never seen this before and saw it at a charity screening for the Imagination Library. I wasn’t fully on board when the gayest football team I’ve ever seen attempted to convince me they were excited to sleep with women, but when the governer showed up and had a whole song and dance about how much he loved to not do his job I was in. Apparently the general outline of the story is largely true!
